The Illusive Man is the powerful, secretive, and well-informed leader of Cerberus. He has blandly handsome features, close-cropped silver-grey hair, and blue eyes which appear to be prosthetic. The Illusive Man’s real name and the nature of his life before Cerberus are prized secrets, but what is known is that for years, he has been using Cerberus and his immense network of contacts to achieve his goal – that of making humanity ascendant above all other races at any cost.
